Fees

Highlights

Most members are on a monthly payment plan. Learn to swim lessons and the once a week options are pay the coach as you go (PAYGo).

Cash or check payments to an MCSC coach at practice or those on monthly plan payments can choose to mail checks to: MCSC, 5 Paula Ct, Denville, NJ 07834. Checks payable to Cash or MCSC. The MCSC also accepts credit cards, through PayPal, via the link on the "Contact" page.

Fees are for reserving your planned practice time, not actual practices. If you sign up for a given month but don't practice, the fee is still due, through the month that you request a change via the on line form. Swimmers are expected to mainly attend their planned practice times (pool, months, days & times).

Monthly fee (discount) changes retroactively to Sep when changing number of months during the swim year.

No credits for missed practices, though the MCSC encourages make-ups. Every effort should be made to get make-ups in within 2-weeks, before or after the missed practice. Make ups need to be done within paid practice months. Extended injury credit (minimum of two weeks) given beginning the day informing the club via change request form.

The "monthly" fee is not based on the number of swim days in a given month. Monthly fee is based on total annual amount divided by months swimming; and takes into account swim breaks and planned no practice dates. Members are responsible for fees for the months they sign up, but only through the current month of the date that they complete the on line form requesting a change.

There is no "winter only" availability (Any 3 months of Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb). Swimmers including winter only months are financially responsible for an equal number of additional months. Signing up for Nov, Dec & Jan would require an additional 3 months, signing for Nov, Dec, Jan & Feb requires 2 more months, signing for Dec, Jan & Feb requires 3 more months or signing for Jan & Feb requires 2 more months.

When signing up for 3 or more practice days, 1 day must include a weekend practice day, Fri, Sat or Sun.
